Episode 26: Revit vs. SketchUp

getarchit.com/...
Welcome to Design Under Influence. Today’s discussion is concerning Revit and SketchUp and why you may need one or the other to complete your project.
In today´s episode:
02:15 What stage of the design process? how does Revit work in the design process?
05:00 What are the requirements for exporting files?
09:40 ​What would be the time savings?
Hope that helps!
If it does, let me know your questions by leaving a comment.
See you soon.🙂

I have little to no knowledge of Sketchup, but as someone who works full time in the AEC world, it’s all about Revit.

Good stuff. I'm adept in Sketchup but I wouldnt shrug off Revit.
If youre a student looking into an architecture/archviz career, like I am, it's pretty clear that most firms require Revit as a prerequisite, while Sketchup is regarded as an additional bonus skill.

An important reason sketchup is 'better' for initial design than revit is because the learning curve to fluency is more easily achieved with it ... allowing users to 'get the tool out of the way' sooner. Revit is a grand piano: it takes more practice/focus and, by the time fluency arrives, an operator is able to play elaborate orchestral pieces with it ... and usually prefers to. In such a metaphor, sketchup is more a harmonica. Consider this: when a pencil is in your hands, you think about what the next line REPRESENTS without any thought of how to make that line. no CAD tool is as direct, natural, & effortless as a pencil and, to some ways of thinking, the less a tool preoccupies the act of mark-making, the more spontaneous and free-thinking the mark-maker can be.

Try BricsCAD, as intuitive as Sketchup for solud modeling, can document full BIM data model, can import both skp and rvt and rfa files by drag and drop and all if this in olg trusty DWG format, full cad, full programming api, full bim

which audio/video apparatus are you using to record? The output is really commendable

I didn't know that Edward Snowden was into architecture

Revit model are ugly as fk. Cannot show client directly. Only pallel projection view. Model are like kid drawing.
